Death Becomes Him
Tim Burton's gorgeous nightmares, plus penguin love.
Tim Burton's fetishes are entertainingly consistent. He's just gaga for ghoul chicks. He's probably scared of being consumed by them, too—which must only make them more desirable. He used to photograph his spooky Addams Family ex-girlfriend Lisa Marie (she played Vampira in Ed Wood) covered in spider webs, and he likes to work amid skeletal Day of the Dead figurines. Is there anyone who keeps alive—even cultivates—his adolescent morbidity the way Burton does?
Now he's with another scary dark woman, Helena Bonham Carter (the ghoul of his dreams in Fight Club, I'll bet), and has made her a wedding present of the title vocal part in the stop-motion-animated semi-operetta Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (Warner Bros.).
The movie is so Burtonesque that it verges on self-parody—but it's fun and stunningly beautiful anyway. The co-director is Mike Johnson, who's probably responsible (along with cinematographer Peter Kozachik, designer Alex McDowell, editors Jonathan Lucas and Chris Lebenzon, and an army of stop-motion animators) for how limpid it feels, the smooth camera bringing out everything in those Grand Guignol/Gothic sets and characters.
You get ravens, forests like boneyards, and lair upon sarcophagal lair. The characters are elongated figures with their ping-pong-ball eyes, along with the festering living dead who were so gruesomely endearing in Burton's Beetlejuice. You can tell the villains here because they have grotesque chins, while the hero, heroine, and plaintive corpse bride have little ones upstaged by their huge eyes. What's with the chin thing?
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride is a fairy tale about a snooty, aristocratic family marrying off its sweet but mousy daughter (voiced by Emily Watson) to the bumbling son (Johnny Depp) of a nouveau riche couple. Depp is delightful—and even more delightful is the manner in which the animators have captured the gung-ho way that he throws himself into a role. You can see him in this character.
The Corpse Bride, murdered by her fiancé on the brink of their elopement, rises from the ground when the young man practices his wedding vows on a dead tree—whereupon he finds himself betrothed to her. She's a lovely corpse with pursed, pink, kissable lips, but there is that maggot with the voice of Peter Lorre in her eye socket and the hole in her cheek that exposes her upper molars. Anyway, she's dead, and the hero loves a live one.
The film is a mite poky even at its 75 minutes, but that might be a comment on the video-game pacing of so much modern animation. The Corpse Bride unfolds more like a light opera. Danny Elfman's songs recall Gilbert and Sullivan, (Mr. Oompah) Lionel Bart, and even Kurt Weill, while the score is his own "Danse Macabre." I'd like to hear the music a few more times: It's lush and hammy, and magnificently orchestrated, but maybe a tad short on good tunes.
The voices are a joy, especially Joanna Lumley as the ogreish aristocrat matriarch, Richard E. Grant as a scheming fortune hunter, and hoary Christopher Lee—booming and rolling his r's as the irritable local pastor. The final image is maybe the most gorgeous and lyrical I've seen in an American animated film. Will the kiddies go for it? I'm not sure, but the Burtonish adolescents will. The movie asks: "Can the living marry the dead?" If they could, Burton would be deep underground with all the dancing skeletons.
It has been amusing to watch the radical right/anti-evolution/family-values crowd laud the subjects of March of the Penguins for their commitment to their mates and as evidence of intelligent design. If anything, the film seemed to me to reinforce what we know of natural selection. Darwin would have thrilled to it. These strange, complex, grueling rituals of penguin mating and procreation in the Antarctic have obviously evolved to keep this flock alive in "the harshest place on Earth."
In one (upsetting) scene, the adult penguins do nothing as a group of young'uns is attacked by a predator. One succumbs. Family values? The only way you can account for this chilling indifference is the heartlessness of evolution: You give them one—the one that can't get away—and the hawks leave the rest alone for the time being. Monogamy? The narration makes the point that they are serially monogamous: They change partners after each breeding cycle. Some penguins, we have recently learned, are queer—and this with no exposure to our debased Hollywood-liberal culture.
These people really are deluded, aren't they? They'll twist anything to suit their ends and then count on an audience that doesn't think critically—an audience that I should think is far easier to manipulate than penguins... 11:42 p.m. PT
Update: Please, folks… No more e-mails accusing me of being "anti-Christian." As it happpens, some of the right-wing moralists in question are Jewish. The issue isn't their faith but their agenda, their disingenuousness, and the blind credulousness of their audience.
Correction: An earlier version of this article stated that the Corpse Bride died of heartbreak. She was, in fact, murdered. Also: Numerous readers have written to point out the story is based on an old Jewish folk tale. Noted.

Iowa dentist agrees to pay federal penalty
Iowa dentist agrees to pay federal penalty
A dentist in western Iowa has agreed to pay a $2,500 penalty for not having a valid federal registration for prescribing medication.
The Daily Nonpareil reports that Dr. Michael Rensch made the agreement in a settlement with the Iowa Dental Board.
The board said Rensch repeatedly prescribed controlled substances without a valid registration required by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The dental board says Rensch's DEA registration expired on June 1, 2009, and says Rensch confirmed that he issued several prescriptions for controlled substances while lacking the DEA registration. He reinstated his DEA registration in March 2012.
Rensch didn't immediately return a call Tuesday from The Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A spate of incidents in which Los Angeles police officers are accused of using excessive force is threatening to unravel the Police Department's efforts to bolster community relations.
Video in recent weeks has captured officers punching a handcuffed suspect and slamming a restrained woman to the ground. In the third case, a woman stopped breathing in the back of a police car and later died.
The incidents come after years of reforms by the LAPD to improve its officers' conduct.
The efforts, undertaken under a federal court order, have yielded results: The city's crime rate is the lowest in four decades, and police are getting praise from communities, including minorities and gays, that had historically complained about mistreatment.
But the recent incidents underscore that for some police officers on the street, the line on acceptable use of force remains blurry.
"There's been a real effort to change the culture," said Joe Domanick, a professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice who is writing a book on the transformation of the LAPD after the Rodney King beating. "It takes a long time for a culture to change, for things to trickle down."
Andrea Ordin, president of the Los Angeles Police Commission, the department's civilian oversight panel, said it's too early to tell if a trend toward overaggressive tactics is developing.
"We are seeing community groups coming to our meetings and talking about the changes in the Police Department and that they appreciate the better communication," she said. "At the same time, we're seeing these incidents. Each of these has to be investigated thoroughly."
In one incident, Alesia Thomas died in a squad car July 22 after struggling with officers trying to arrest her on suspicion of child endangerment. She had left her two children at the police station where they told officers their mother didn't want them, and they had not eaten for several days, said Cmdr. Andrew Smith.
During the struggle to get Thomas into the patrol car, a female officer was captured by the car's video camera threatening to kick Thomas in the groin if she did not obey, and then she made good on the threat. A short while later, Thomas stopped breathing.
Police Chief Charlie Beck has reassigned the five officers involved and ordered an investigation.
On Aug. 21, registered nurse Michelle Jordan was pulled over for holding her cellphone while driving. She got out of the car and did not comply with an officer's demand to get back in the vehicle. The 5-foot-4-inch woman was slammed to the ground by two male officers and handcuffed. While being led to the patrol car, another officer slammed her to the ground again.
The incident was captured by a surveillance camera at a nearby restaurant.
The officers involved were removed from patrol duty pending an investigation, and their supervising captain was transferred. Beck said the videotape raised serious concerns and ordered it shown at officer roll calls throughout the department.
In a third incident, college student Ronald Weekley Jr. was stopped Aug. 18 by officers for riding his skateboard on the wrong side of the street. A bystander's cellphone video appears to show an officer punching the 20-year-old in the face while he was on the ground being handcuffed with four officers on top of him. He said he suffered a broken nose and cheekbone.
Weekley was arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest. Police have launched an internal investigation to determine whether excessive force was used, but the officers involved remain on duty.
"These are unarmed, handcuffed suspects. It's a disturbing, growing trend of police brutality throughout Southern California," said Najee Ali, of the South Los Angeles civil rights group Project Islamic Hope. He noted two other nearby cases that outraged citizens: The police killing of two suspects last month in Anaheim, which sparked a riot, and the July 2011 fatal beating of a handcuffed, homeless, mentally ill man in Fullerton.
Smith, the LAPD commander, said use-of-force incidents are not on the rise. The department records about 1,600 such cases annually, a number that has remained constant in recent years.
"That's out of the millions of contacts we have with the public and the tens of thousands of arrests. Because there's videotape in these incidents, they get a lot of media attention," Smith said.
Officers are permitted to use "reasonable" force to make an arrest, prevent a suspect's escape and overcome resistance. "The question is, is it objectively reasonable? If it isn't reasonable, we hold them accountable," Smith said.
Officers are also extensively trained to verbally persuade people to do what they want without resorting to force, said Richard Weinblatt, a former police chief and police consultant who is a dean at Ivy Tech Community College in Indiana.
Police academy trainers, however, notice that younger cadets, who grew up communicating via text messages and email, and in an era where schoolyard fights are not tolerated as they once were, often lack verbal communication skills and experience in dealing with physical aggression, Weinblatt said. At the same time, criminals are more violent than ever.
"Officers are just plain scared," Weinblatt said. "They don't have the communication skills or physical confidence of previous generations. They're jumping higher and quicker on use of force because of that fear element."

Wayne Rooney stole the show as Manchester United edged past Real Sociedad 1-0 at Old Trafford thanks to an opening minute own goal from Inigo Martinez.
United made the perfect start as they went 1-0 up within a minute as Rooney produced a moment of magic turning the Sociedad defence inside out and then struck a fine shot which rebounded off the post, only for Martinez to put the ball into his own net from five yards.
United continued to dominate the match and came close on a number of occasions before Javier Hernandez found the net once again for David Moyes' side - only for it to be rightly ruled out for offside.
David De Gea made a couple of strong saves as the Spanish outfit started to threaten.
With there referee handing out yellow cards like there's no tomorrow, Sociedad came close to levelling the game as Griezman struck the bar just before half-time from a fine free-kick.
Sociedad started the second-half well and as the United defence dropped off they came close as the ball went flying around the Red Devils' penalty box.
Phil Jones was then denied by Claudio Bravo in the Sociedad goal as he flew in at the back post with a bullet header.
On the hour mark, full-back De la Bella came close for the Spanish outfit as he hit the bar from a tight angle.
The Red Devils then responded to Sociedad's pressure as they came close to doubling their advantage, but as Shinji Kagawa struggled to get the ball out of his feet, the chance passed him by in the penalty box.
With 20 minutes remaining, Rooney came close as Valenica flicked the ball on to Rooney, who smashed the ball over the bar.
As the game wore on, United were in cruise control with Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney and Shinji Kagawa at the heart of everything good from the Red Devils.
As the full-time whistle sounded, United secured all three points and went top of Group A.

There is nothing like the clarity of 'being in the Nau' to guide you through the rugged terrain of today's challenges. This evergreen activewear label is more than just a fashion phoenix reinventing itself during tough economic times, but also an innovator of sustainable fashion pieces that perform well technically and look street smart, too. If you are considering adding only one item to your fall wardrobe, consider the versatility and scope of Nau's latest offerings as a way to add new dimension to your layering system as well as your attitudes about style as a catalyst for change.
We have been faithful followers of NAU from the get go, and like any good relationship, we have weathered the good and the bad times together with the idea that the world can indeed be a better place with closer examination of how we do and make things while also doing for others. One of the qualities that I admire most about NAU is the fact that they simply do not give up when it comes to trying to find an intelligent, almost too-good to be true design solution. Their women's and men's collections are consistently whittled down to smart wearable pieces, with product specifications (if you care to delve into such details) crafted for total eco-textile nerds. Nau understands that performance and tailoring must also hit a sweet spot that resonates with the consumer. Coupled with a true commitment to improve the life cycle of garments as well as calling upon direct input from their shoppers on environmental and social outreach efforts, Nau engages their followers in ways that few other companies can claim.
To get to the core of what makes Nau's Fall 2009 collection more sustainable than in seasons past, I sent a few questions to Nau's General Manager and Head of Product, Mark Galbraith. Here are a few excerpts from our dialogue as a means to delve into the grey matters of product design and sustainability:
AD: What inroads has NAU made on the sustainability front for the Fall 2009 collection? Are there any new eco textiles/materials that are being employed as a push towards improved sustainability and life cycle performance?
MG: This season, we focused our energy on pushing the limits of sustainability in both our wool and bag categories. A specific development for Fall 2009 is the improved aesthetic design of our recycled polyester. We now use two different dye types of recycled polyester (cationic and disperse) which are, for the first time, available in recycled yarns in order to create more interesting color and texture options.
Over 90% of our wool products also come from a traceable and verifiable source. All of our Merino 1, Merino 2, and Merino 3 fabrics are Zque certified and traceable, and we used recycled wool in our Men's Transporter Blazer. Another innovative fabric is our Transporter Blazer 'wool laminate fabric'. It uses recycled polyester on the face, laminated to a recycled poly knit, liner fabric. The result is a lightweight fabric that is wind proof, has a DWR (water repellant) finish, and is also machine washable.
It's tough to choose which is our favorite material. It is quite contextual to the intended use. One favorite in recycled polyester is the Shroud of Purrin fabric, a soft shell fabrication with a woven recycled polyester face and a high loft knit poly Fleece back. It is kitten soft on the inside with a tough weather resistant face. We offer this versatile fabric in a jacket, hoody, and Trench for Men and Women and a Women's only skirt.
AD: Putting materials and product aside, does Nau have any new partnerships with non-profits and foundations? Can you elaborate on the Partners for Change Program for our readers?
MG: Right now we have established relationships with five humanitarian and environmental non-profit organizations through our Partners for Change program. This is our customer directed giving program, where individual Nau customers direct 2% of their purchase to one of our Partners for Change. Our current Partners for Change include Kiva, Mercy Corps, Ecotrust, Ashoka and the Breakthrough Institute.
We integrated our Partners for Change giving program into the checkout section of our website. Customers engage with our donation process by reading about each organization before completing an order, and tell us where to direct 2% of their purchase. For our wholesale accounts, 2% of each order is directed to the same five Partners for Change, proportionate to what our online customers choose. We try to blur the line between for-profit and non-profit businesses, and support the organizations working to create lasting, positive solutions to some of our societies' and planet's most compelling environmental, social and humanitarian problems.
In addition to checking out Nau's Fall 2009 collection currently available online, do not miss the opportunity to vote in their Grant for Change program where $10,000 will be granted to an individual (athlete, artist, activist, etc.) who is working to bring positive change to their community. "Whether it is a photo journalist creating awareness on climate change through visual storytelling or a designer prompting behavioral change towards sustainable living, Nau wants to hear how global citizens are making a difference."
We also encourage you to vote for Inhabitat's Senior Editor, Emily Pilloton, founder of Project H Design and creator of The Learning Landscape. Log in and vote until August 31st to help support the nominated individuals and their efforts to bring about change in conjunction with a company that recognizes that doing good is the best layer of protection.

Sandusky: Summary of Grand Jury Transcript
5 comments:
Thanks for posting this transcript. How horribly these children have been failed and betrayed.
- November 10, 2011 at 8:15 PM
If this man has done what he's been accused of he should be released into the general population of the corrections facility where he serves his time.
- November 12, 2011 at 8:02 PM
I'm sick to my stomach! There is no punishment suitable for this sick and twisted monster! I hope he lives a long time getting beaten and raped on our prison system...every single day for the rest of his miserable life!
- November 15, 2011 at 6:51 PM
- Eric Macramalla said...
Agreed - we have not seen the trasncript of everyone's individual testimony. It would be very interesting to see what they said, particularly Paterno whose summary of comments is rather brief and unhelpful.
- November 16, 2011 at 10:45 AM
Difficult reading and extremely disturbing..that said the legal system must be allowed to continue untainted and unobstructed. The court of public opinion must be secondary despite the heanas nature of the alleged crimes. Conviction before punishment is afforded to the accused...unfortunate that same benefit wasnt afforded to those like coach patterno that have been convicted already.

Congress' Proposed Cuts to the Prevention and Public Health Fund Jeopardize America's Health
Congress' Proposed Cuts to the Prevention and Public Health Fund Jeopardize America's Health
Contact: Becky Wexler
Washington, D.C. (February 16, 2012)—The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) opposesCongress' plans to cut $5 billion from the Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF) to offset the costs of halting cuts to Medicare physician payments. This cut limits the Fund's ability to reduce rising rates of chronic disease, which will only cost the nation more in the long run.
"We know there are difficult decisions to be made on the budget. But it's counterintuitive to cut the singular major investment to prevent the diseases that kill Americans and reduce their quality of life, and increase health care costs," said NACCHO's executive director Robert M. Pestronk. "This critical work has already been undercut by several previous rounds of federal, state and local budget cuts. Local health departments have the tools to bend the cost curve, but without sufficient investment, activities cannot be put into practice in a way that will have the greatest impact on health spending in programs like Medicare."
"Cutting prevention to pay for medical care just doesn't make sense," Pestronk said. "Chronic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure are driving Medicare costs up and account for 70 percent of all deaths and 75 percent of all health care costs."

The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) represents the nation's 2,800 local governmental health departments. These city, county, metropolitan, district, and tribal departments work every day to protect and promote health and well-being for all people in their communities.

Honore concerned about the future
Lt. Gen. Russel L. Honoré "worries" about what he calls the next Vietnam, he said Wednesday after being welcomed to the Mississippi State University campus.
Speaking to a crowd of future workers enrolled at the university, Honoré described a battle that Americans would fight over human capital on the homeland without weapons.
"I'm not worried about you," he told the students.
"I'm worried about the 50 percent of people that didn't graduate high school. They're going to be takers, not givers. They're going to be loaners, not donors," Honoré said.
Honoré bemoaned the disproportionate spending of public dollars toward prisons over that of schools and the fact that elementary school reading levels determine estimations of prisons needed.
"We should be figuring out how many colleges we need instead.... And the politicians haven't done it," he said. "I didn't spend 37 years, three months and three days in the Army to watch us go backwards."
Honoré received widespread recognition in 2005 when he provided military aid for the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. It was there, he said, he had to put his rule of breaking rules during an emergency into practice.
When security forces hesitated, for instance, to board hurricane victims onto planes because they had not been screened, Honoré ordered them to skip that step.
"These people are not terrorists," he remembers telling the Transportation Security Administration. "They're not refugees. They're poor."
The government's response to BP's oil spill off the Gulf Coast, however, showed not enough rules were broken, he said, explaining that federal officials used a checklist based on the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989.
"It wasn't the right checklist," Honoré said. "It did not meet the enormity of the situation."
When Honoré isn't responding to disasters such as Haiti's recent earthquake, he is traveling across the U.S. preaching the importance of changing the public's culture of preparedness that he says diminished after the Cold War.
The general brought with him data from the 2003 census showing that 42 percent of the U.S. population lives within 20 miles of ocean coastline, the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes, making them vulnerable to floods.
The country's infrastructure, he said, needs a lot of improvement, and engineers should be the go-to-guys — not CFO's.
The overnight hero portrayed in the news as a restorer of hope and order said that the country's challenges — fighting terrorism, meeting the needs of a growing population, restoring the economy and closing the rich-poor gap — can be solved with the technology and innovation that come from perceiving challenges as opportunities — not problems, Honoré said.
"Our founding fathers left us a big check," Honoré said. "And it's up to each generation to cash it."

The bride and groom did not see it until they got to the reception and it was love at first site. Thank you for making our event more wonderful than I could have imagined.
We are so glad we decided to make the cake topper one of our splurges for the wedding. It made that day more special and gave us something to remember other than pictures.
We had a few friends round that night and we presented him with the cake and he absolutely loved it! Everyone was going camera and phone camera mad. I don't think any of them had ever seen anything as good as this. It now takes pride of place in the living room alongside his trophy and medal.

ECU announced enrollment task force
GREENVILLE, NC (Jan. 30, 2008) — East Carolina University has announced the formation of a task force on strategic enrollment management to develop goals and plans that will determine what its student body will look like in coming years.
"We have been the fastest-growing public university in North Carolina for the last five years," Chancellor Steve Ballard said. "Clearly students and parents all across the state are finding more and more to like about East Carolina, and this is key to our success. Our growth is also illustrative of our historical commitment to access and opportunity."
Ballard said that as the university moves forward, it must examine "how much growth we can accommodate and still do everything possible so that each student is successful. That is our legacy over the past 100 years."
"This is an appropriate time to take a close look and make sure that our growth is focused in a way that ensures that we are maintaining access and properly serving the people of North Carolina," the chancellor said. "We are beginning our second century, we have completed a new strategic plan for the institution, and the UNC Tomorrow initiative has established goals for all the UNC system institutions. Our enrollment planning will take all these factors into consideration."
ECU's enrollment has grown from 20,577 in the fall semester of 2002 to 25,990 in the fall of 2007.
Ballard said the new task force, which will begin meeting next month, will include members from the Board of Trustees, faculty, students and administration. It will be led by Dr. Judi Bailey, a former president of Western Michigan University and Northern Michigan University, who oversees the enrollment management enterprise, including the admissions, financial aid, and registrar's offices.
"The task force must take the lead in helping us decide such critical questions as how large our student body should be and what are the proper ratios of undergraduate students to graduate students and on-campus students to distance-education students," Ballard said. "We must also develop a better answer to the question of what the appropriate admission standards for ECU should be."
Bailey said it is important for the university to increase its efficiency and its level of customer service in admissions, financial aid, advising and all other student services. A number of initiatives are already under way in those areas, including searches for new leaders in the financial aid and admissions offices and enhanced advising services, including the addition of a student-learning center that will offer tutorials, study skills and time-management sessions.

text: Nebraska Dairy Seeks Food Waste to Expand Composting November 14, 2013 06:37 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Associated Press Email A dairy farm in southern Lancaster County, Neb., wants to expand its composting operation by accepting food waste from area schools, villages and possibly from Lincoln. "We're trying to get into the forefront of what I think is going to make a great business model," said Dan Rice, general manager of Prairieland Dairy. The Lincoln Journal Star reports that model is based on his belief that combining manure from hundreds of dairy cows with tons of food waste makes much better compost than using dairy waste alone. Prairieland Dairy at 13000 Pella Road has been composting dairy waste since 2002, selling the natural product to farmers, gardeners and greenhouses. Compost is made from decayed organic material, looks like soil and is used as fertilizer. Rice is asking for a permit from the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality to expand the annual waste capacity of his composting operation from 10,000 cubic yards to no more than 100,000 cubic yards. He also seeks a zoning change from the Lincoln-Lancaster County Planning Commission that would allow a large-scale composting operation in an agricultural district and a special permit from the county to operate the expanded site. Sara Hartzell, a county planner, said zoning regulations contain provisions for composting activities associated with public landfills but they do not address commercial composting on farms. "If you can't do composting in an agricultural district, where would they recommend us doing that?" Rice asked. New language for an amendment that will address composting in agricultural districts is being drafted with the help of the Health Department, Building and Safety and the county engineer's office, she said. The Planning Commission is set to discuss the amendment and a special permit for Prairieland Dairy's composting site on Nov. 27. The Lancaster County Board has final approval on both issues. Notices of the proposed zoning change have been sent to residents within a mile of the dairy farm and the village of Firth, which is about three miles away. Earlier this year, a composting operation in western Cass County near the Platte River ran into problems when it sought permission to expand to take in tons of food waste. Neighbors of a nearby lake development complained, and the operator scaled back his plans. Rice said he doesn't anticipate such problems here. He said there are several houses in the area but he has not heard of any concerns from neighbors. The dairy tries to be "very open," he said, and invites the public to special events to learn about its operation. "We do everything we can to control odor," Rice said. The special permit from DEQ would outline steps the dairy must take to control noise and odor, litter, rodents and access to the site, which is a county gravel road from nearby Nebraska 43. Rice said the composting site is about 8 acres now and won't increase in size. A few more employees may be added. He expects the permitting process to take at least a year. "In my mind, it's the right thing to do for the environment," said Rice, who wishes Lincoln would do more composting with organic waste from residential areas. He pointed out that 17 percent of garbage that goes into landfills is food waste. "There's a lot of value there and we're not putting it to the best use," Rice said. Prairieland Dairy has been working on a pilot project for about a year, recycling food waste from the middle school at nearby Norris Public Schools. The project was initiated by Rice's son, Ben, who has been hauling several trash bags full of food waste in his truck to the dairy farm daily. Math teacher Tom Price said students have been separating plastic from food waste and the process has worked well with the 600 students enrolled in the middle school. Based on a student's work, he estimates 85 percent of the middle school's cafeteria waste is being recycled and turned into useful compost, thus being kept out of the landfill in Lincoln. Ben Rice, a senior and president of the Norris FFA chapter, recently got a $2,000 grant that should help expand the food waste recycling program into the high school building. He'll use the money to buy trash containers and a trailer to haul food waste to the dairy. Norris also may end up saving money on its trash hauling bill because the dairy farm is only five minutes away, compared to the Bluff Road Landfill which is about a 45-minute drive. "The goal overall is to have it in K-12 grades, even the little ones," Price said. "Kids throw away a lot of food. They shouldn't, but they do." Back to news

Chomsky's Follies
The professor's pronouncements about Osama Bin Laden are stupid and ignorant.
Anybody visiting the Middle East in the last decade has had the experience: meeting the hoarse and aggressive person who first denies that Osama Bin Laden was responsible for the destruction of the World Trade Center and then proceeds to describe the attack as a justified vengeance for decades of American imperialism. This cognitive dissonance—to give it a polite designation—does not always take that precise form. Sometimes the same person who hails the bravery of al-Qaida's martyrs also believes that the Jews planned the "operation." As far as I know, only leading British "Truther" David Shayler, a former intelligence agent who also announced his own divinity, has denied that the events of Sept. 11, 2001, took place at all. (It was apparently by means of a hologram that the widespread delusion was created on television.) In his recent article for Guernica magazine, however, professor Noam Chomsky decides to leave that central question open. We have no more reason to credit Osama Bin Laden's claim of responsibility, he states, than we would have to believe Chomsky's own claim to have won the Boston Marathon.
I can't immediately decide whether or not this is an improvement on what Chomsky wrote at the time. Ten years ago, apparently sharing the consensus that 9/11 was indeed the work of al-Qaida, he wrote that it was no worse an atrocity than President Clinton's earlier use of cruise missiles against Sudan in retaliation for the bomb attacks on the centers of Nairobi and Dar es Salaam. (I haven't been back to check on whether he conceded that those embassy bombings were also al-Qaida's work to begin with.) He is still arguing loudly for moral equivalence, maintaining that the Abbottabad, Pakistan, strike would justify a contingency whereby "Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush's compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic." (Indeed, equivalence might be a weak word here, since he maintains that, "uncontroversially, [Bush's] crimes vastly exceed bin Laden's.") So the main new element is the one of intriguing mystery. The Twin Towers came down, but it's still anyone's guess who did it. Since "April 2002, [when] the head of the FBI, Robert Mueller, informed the press that after the most intensive investigation in history, the FBI could say no more than that it 'believed' that the plot was hatched in Afghanistan," no evidence has been adduced. "Nothing serious," as Chomsky puts it, "has been provided since."
Chomsky still enjoys some reputation both as a scholar and a public intellectual. And in the face of bombardments of official propaganda, he prides himself in a signature phrase on his stern insistence on "turning to the facts." So is one to assume that he has pored through the completed findings of the 9/11 Commission? Viewed any of the videos in which the 9/11 hijackers are seen in the company of Bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri? Read the transcripts of the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called "20th hijacker"? Followed the journalistic investigations of Lawrence Wright, Peter Bergen, or John Burns, to name only some of the more salient? Acquainted himself with the proceedings of associated and ancillary investigations into the bombing of the USS Cole or indeed the first attempt to bring down the Twin Towers in the 1990s?
With the paranoid anti-war "left," you never quite know where the emphasis is going to fall next. At the Telluride Film Festival in 2002, I found myself debating Michael Moore, who, a whole year after the attacks, maintained that Bin Laden was "innocent until proved guilty" (and hadn't been proven guilty). Except that he had, at least according to Moore one day after the attacks, when he wrote that: "WE created the monster known as Osama bin Laden! Where did he go to terrorist school? At the CIA!" So, innocent unless tainted by association with Langley, Va., which did seem to have some heartland flying schools under surveillance before 2001 but which seemed sluggish on the uptake regarding them. For quite some time, in fact, the whole anti-Bush "narrative" involved something rather like collusion with the evil Bin Laden crime family, possibly based on mutual interests in the oil industry. So guilty was Bin Laden, in fact, that he was allowed to prepare for a new Pearl Harbor on American soil by a spineless Republican administration that had ignored daily briefings on the mounting threat. Gore Vidal was able to utter many croaking and suggestive lines to this effect, hinting at a high-level betrayal of the republic.
And then came those who, impatient with mere innuendo, directly accused the administration of rocketing its own Pentagon and bringing about a "controlled demolition" of the World Trade Center. This grand scenario seemed to have a few loose planes left over, since the ones that hit the towers were only a grace note to the more ruthless pre-existing sabotage and the ones in Virginia and Pennsylvania, complete with passengers and crews and hijackers, somehow just went missing.
It's no criticism of Chomsky to say that his analysis is inconsistent with that of other individuals and factions who essentially think that 9/11 was a hoax. However, it is remarkable that he should write as if the mass of evidence against Bin Laden has never been presented or could not have been brought before a court. This form of 9/11 denial doesn't trouble to conceal an unstated but self-evident premise, which is that the United States richly deserved the assault on its citizens and its civil society. After all, as Chomsky phrases it so tellingly, our habit of "naming our murder weapons after victims of our crimes: Apache, Tomahawk … [is] as if the Luftwaffe were to call its fighter planes 'Jew' and 'Gypsy.' " Perhaps this is not so true in the case of Tomahawk, which actually is the name of a weapon, but the point is at least as good as any other he makes.
In short, we do not know who organized the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, or any other related assaults, though it would be a credulous fool who swallowed the (unsupported) word of Osama Bin Laden that his group was the one responsible. An attempt to kidnap or murder an ex-president of the United States (and presumably, by extension, the sitting one) would be as legally justified as the hit on Abbottabad. And America is an incarnation of the Third Reich that doesn't even conceal its genocidal methods and aspirations. This is the sum total of what has been learned, by the guru of the left, in the last decade.

Happy New Year…
…to all of our readers. We're spending this New Year's Eve the same way we've spent the last several, chaperoning a party hosted by one of our teenage daughters. Which leaves plenty of time to reflect on 2007, a year that couldn't seem to get any respect but was, on the whole, pretty good, for us and for the world at large. As always, what makes this site worthwhile for »
"Did Huckabee Go Too Far?"
That's the title of a column by the AP's Ron Fournier on the press conference that Mike Huckabee gave today. It was, by all accounts, a bizarre event. The purpose of the event was to play Huckabee's new ad attacking Mitt Romney for reporters. Huckabee arrived late, giving the reporters plenty of time to peruse anti-Romney placards around the room, and announced that he had had a change of heart: »
Ms. Hillary does Pakistan
Thomas Houlahan comments on Ms. Hillary's recent discussions of events in Pakistan with Wolf Blitzer and George Stephanopoulos, addressing the question: "How credible is Hillary Clinton on Pakistan?"

My immediate reaction was: "Did I hear that correctly?" As a Pakistan »
Sara Jane Moore Freed
A mostly-forgotten figure from the past, Sara Jane Moore, was released from a federal prison in California today. Moore attempted to assassinate President Gerald Ford in 1975. She says now that she regrets her crime, and that she was "blinded by her radical political views." As one who locates the Ford administration in the recent past, I was a bit shocked to learn that Moore is 77 years old. Still »
Trial by jury in New Hampshire
Top-notch trial lawyers (and even lawyers like me who have tried some cases before juries) recognize the centrality to the trial dynamic of jury empowerment. The typical juror arrives at the courthouse on the first day apprehensive about the process and wondering whether he or she has what it takes to be a good juror. But once jurors are selected and begin to feel at ease, it usually dawns on »
What's the matter with Iowa?
Yesterday, I wrote: "The bad-faith liberals are the ones saying nice things about Mike Huckabee." As if on cue, E.J. Dionne says some nice things about Mike Huckabee. He does so by way of flogging his pet idea that class warfare (he calls it populism) is making a comeback, as shown by the popularity of Huckabee and John Edwards in Iowa. But Dionne cites no evidence that us-against-them rhetoric ever »

Military Involvement In Bhutto's Murder Rumored
A number of intelligence sources say that lower and mid-level officers in Pakistan's army and air force were involved in the assassination of Benazir Bhutto: Benazir Bhutto was assassinated on orders of lower- and middle-level officers of the Pakistani army and air force, according to various intelligence sources, including members of India's counterintelligence service. According to a source who asked to remain unnamed, members of the Pakistani armed forces involved »
New Video Footage Shows Bhutto Was Shot [Maybe]
Britain's Channel 4 News has acquired video footage of Benazir Bhutto's assassination that appears to establish that Ms. Bhutto was shot before the suicide bomber exploded his device. You can see the footage in Channel 4's report below. The gunman and the bomber are both visible; they approach Bhutto's vehicle while she is standing up, waving to the crowd from the sun roof of her vehicle. The gunman fires three »
Man of the Year…In the U.K.
Many observers commented on Time magazine's foolishness in overlooking General David Petraeus when it awarded its "Person of the Year" honor a week ago. But London's Telegraph was not so myopic: Today, we put him in the spotlight again by naming Gen Petraeus as The Sunday Telegraph's Person of the Year, a new annual accolade to recognise outstanding individual achievement. He has been the man behind the US troop surge »
Hail to the Redskins
Ever since Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs returned to take charge of the Washington Redskins four seasons ago, I've been saying he would succeed eventually. Until four weeks ago. That's when the Redskins lost at home 17-16 to the sorry Buffalo Bills. The loss was the team's fourth straight — all close games — and it dropped the Redskins record to 5-7. Worst of all, Buffalo won on a »
Where's Rudy?
I like Rudy Giuliani as a presidential candidate, and he's definitely my wife's favorite. For quite a while he led the national polls, and maybe he still does. But the extent to which Rudy has been absent from the battle, and the news, in recent weeks is weird. This headline sums it up: Giuliani Steers Clear of Political Fray. I'm not sure that's the path to nomination. Giuliani's campaign insists »
Mike Huckabee's imaginary friends
We have already noted MIke Huckabee's apparently incorrect claim that John Bolton has agreed to work with him on foreign policy issues. Now it seems that Huckabee also misstated his relationship with a second conservative foreign policy expert, Richard Allen. Huckabee included Allen, a former national security adviser, in the list of analysts with whom he has spoken. But Allen told The Politico that, although an intermediary asked him to »
Who's Lacking Candor, Romney or the AP?
We wrote here about Glen Johnson, the reporter for the Associated Press who has been assigned to cover Mitt Romney's presidential campaign. Johnson makes no secret of the fact that the detests Romney, and his articles on the candidate have been a succession of hit pieces. His most recent, this morning, is titled Analysis: Romney and Candor. Johnson's thesis is that Romney has a "candor gap," which is a nice »

Pakistan: No Help Needed
Pakistan today rejected offers of assistance in investigating the murder of Benazir Bhutto. That strikes me as entirely appropriate. Hillary Clinton, as I noted yesterday, committed an appalling faux pas in saying that "there is no reason to trust the Pakistani government."

Robert Novak reports on a massive telephone survey of 15,000 Iowans who say they will attend the Republican caucuses. (If true, that would be a substantial percentage of all Republicans who will participate.) In this survey, Mitt Romney is back in front of Mike Huckabee, whose support appears to be slipping.

"I'm fairly certain that given a cape and a nice tiara I could save the world."
Author Unknown
If only I were in charge. A dear friend and I have discussed this often, our need to try to fix everything. Is it a character flaw or just a loving desire to want what is best for everyone? If only the other humans would cooperate!
How arrogant of me, at times, to believe that I could even begin to know what is best for someone else. Yet, it is my calling, this need to fix, to take care of, and to help. It is also my burden. To save sanity I must remember that it is not my job to fix everything. It is not my place to walk another's path or to learn their lessons. This is especially hard with adult children. After all, I gave birth to them. Why wouldn't they want to take advantage of my never ending stream of motherly wisdom!
In a perfect world they would gather around me regularly enraptured by my stories and bits of advice. They would do all the cooking and cleaning for these family gatherings. They would bring with them only friends and partners that I have approved of and blessed. There would be no squabbling among them, except for the occasional disagreement over which one of them adored me more!
Of course, in this perfect world I would still be a size 5. I would be living in a house meticulously cleaned by my staff of unionized, liberated domestics who only chose to work this job to supplement their more-than-adequate incomes as artists. When they finished the work they enjoyed so much, we would share coffee and wonderfully, intelligent political discussions were we would always agree. The gardens would be meticulously kept by me, and neither weeds nor bugs would ever be more than a passing annoyance.
Yet the older I get the more I realize that life will never be fair or perfect or predictable. It does not keep me from dreaming. No, my life did not turn out the way I hoped. I don't live in the Brady Bunch house with six perfectly behaved children. I am not living happily ever after with my husband (or any of my husbands for that matter). Then again, maybe a perfect "Stepford" life would have been boring. Maybe the path I've taken instead was the one I was meant to take after all, filled with lessons, love and enlightenment. Let's go with that!
In the meantime, if granted a cape and a tiara I would make the following changes:
In a perfect world, the woman in the car in front of me at the four way stop sign would have some freaking clue about what to do next, seriously!
In a perfect world, politicians would think of the people who elected them and not of their next election.
In a perfect world, soldiers would only need to put on uniforms to march in parades on the Fourth of July.
In a perfect world, college would be free and crime would never pay.
In a perfect world, our beloved dogs would live with us until we were both old and grey and we'd have the option of "putting down" husbands after ten or twelve years instead.
In a perfect world, football players would have to get "real" jobs in the off season in order to afford their lifestyles and teachers could actually make ends meet year round and not need second jobs.
In a perfect world, babies would only be born to loving parents and loving parents would always be given babies!
In a perfect world, Scotty could actually beam us up when needed.
In a perfect world, people who love each other could always get married, anytime, anywhere no matter who they were or who they loved.
In a perfect world, the printer would never freeze up ten minutes before the paper, proposal or project is due, viruses would only transmit colds and PC and Mac users could live together in harmony.
In a perfect world, children would not be taking drugs in the streets while elderly people skip needed medications they can't afford.
In a perfect world, good deeds would always go unpunished!
In a perfect world, we would not still be arguing about the necessity for birth control, reproductive choice or health care coverage for everyone.
In a perfect world, we would never have to utter the words "but he was so young" at another funeral, ever, ever again.
In a perfect world, Santa would be real, leaves would be the beautiful colors of orange and red all year long, and rainbows would always, always follow rain storms!
In a perfect world, clicking our heels together would really bring us home whenever we needed to go there.
Of course, maybe my perfect world wouldn't be your perfect world and maybe that's okay. Maybe the founders of our country were on to something when they set up a system in which we have to constantly have the conversations about the best ways to take care of everyone. Maybe they knew that we would never all agree but the point was to keep having the conversations until everyone was heard. Maybe I can trust my adult children to remember all the lessons I taught them, and to learn new lessons of their own.
Maybe my life didn't turn out the way I planned but maybe that is what made me who I am today. I am happy with that and it's been a wonderful adventure and maybe that means it is just perfect the way it is!

Melissa Paulino not only came from humble beginnings, she started her life with nowhere to go but up. Her father, Marlu Paulino, was a US Army veteran who returned from Kuwait not exactly the same man who left his pregnant wife and year old son over a year earlier. He suffered from delusions and schizophrenia and was such a violent threat to his wife and family that Melissa's mother, Elsie, was forced to divorce him before she was born. Even in the few years after her birth, Melissa and her brother, Dennis, were caught in traumatic situations in which the police were forced to intervene for their safety. Melissa and her brother formed an unusually strong bond because of it.
As she grew up with her mother, three siblings (including a younger brother, Levi, and sister, Lehua), and eventually step-father, Zack, Melissa developed a strong yearning for the escape and inspiration that music provided. Melissa found that she had a strong, natural singing voice and dancing ability, and would sing and dance to the music that she grew to love.
At 13 years of age, Melissa would watch Kimora Lee Simmons in her television program, "Life in the Fab Lane," and be amazed at how tall and beautiful she was. Melissa was embarrassed to be tall for her age and was impressed by Simmons' confidence. Later, Melissa became inspired by Tyra Banks, as well, because she was a tall, dark-skinned model and actress who believed everyone was beautiful in their own way. The desire to become a top model was born.
In October of 2012, Melissa was convinced by her family and friends to join a beauty pageant, the Miss Teen Hawaii 2012 Holiday Queen Pageant. This went against ALL of her instincts because Melissa, despite being out-going and friendly, had always been a timid girl inside who did not like to neither take sides nor do any type of public speaking. One of the main reasons that she agreed to enter the pageant in the first place was that there were no personal or on-stage interviews.
Melissa described the abject fear that she had just before going on stage for the first time, but when she heard the screams and cheers from all of her family and friends she said "Hell yah!" and proceeded to win the title of Miss Teen Hawaii 2012. Her title also brought her to the attention of her eventual manager, Rick Bernico of Hawaii Profiles, who was the official photographer and graphic designer for the pageant.
The two connected a few months later and started working together on her dreams to become a model. After a number of photo shoots and training sessions, Melissa was submitted to and accepted by Wilhelmina – Hawaii, one of the top modeling agencies in Hawaii.
Melissa's title also opened the door for her to be invited by Jerry Wayne and Bernico, to Los Angeles to represent Hawaii for the Date for the Cure non-profit organization which was producing a 4-star, gala extravaganza fundraising event for the Susan G. Komen LA County Foundation at the Universal Sheraton Hotel in order to raise money for research towards and bring awareness to breast cancer.
The Date for the Cure was held on Saturday, February 16, 2013 and feature entertainers from American Idol, Dance with the Stars, guest host Kevin Nealon, and exotic fashion show by A.Che` Swimwear, and over a dozen beauty queens including the reigning Miss Universe Olivia Culpo, the reigning Miss USA Nana Meriwether, and, of course, Melissa Paulino.
Melissa was delightfully surprised to receive a tremendous amount of attention from movie stars, television stars, producers, CEOs, GMs, filthy rich and clean rich people alike. A number of people even took the time to tell her that she was the prettiest girl at the event.
"The Los Angeles County Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure is dedicated to saving lives and ending breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures." Fifty percent of the proceeds from Date for the Cure would go Susan G. Komen LA County and Melissa was proud to be a part of it. In fact, Melissa will be appointed the Aloha Ambassador for Date for the Cure – Hawaii when and if the Hawaii event takes place.
Melissa now has dreams to not only become a top model and to be published in major magazines, but she now has a strong desire to become a successful actress. One of her dreams is to be on Hawaii Five-0 with her actor crush, Alex O'Loughlin! Melissa also loves long showers, listening to music, and VAMPIRES.

Music icon Madonna has sparked controversy yet again after using the word "gay" to describe Russian President Vladimir Putin and the leafy green vegetable kale.
The Vogue hitmaker played a word association game with editors at Buzzfeed.com, in which she was given a person or object and asked to describe it by writing down the first thing that came to her mind.
In the results posted on the website on Tuesday (22Apr14), she was given the word "Putin" and she wrote down "gay", alluding to the leader's controversial stance on homosexuals and anti-gay legislation in Russia.
The singer was then presented with the word "kale", and she also wrote down "gay' in response.
However, critics stormed the site with negative comments, calling Madonna out for using the term as a pejorative.
One user wrote, "Saying kale is 'gay' is meant to convey that she doesn't like it, so it is an insult. I am SO TIRED of people using 'gay' in a negative context."
Another comment read, "I am surprised she is using the word 'gay' as an insult. I thought she was more sensitive than that", while a post from the owners of beauty website TheGloss.com reads, "Hey Madonna? 2008 called and it wants its gay slurs back."
Madonna has yet to respond to the controversy.
